Vermillion Records
Vermilion (sometimes vermillion) is a color family and pigment most often used between antiquity and the 19th century from the powdered mineral cinnabar (a form of mercury sulfide). It is synonymous with red orange, which often takes a modern form, but is 11% brighter (at full brightness). Etymology and common name Used first in English in the 13th century, the word ''vermilion'' came from the Old French word ''vermeillon'', which was derived from ''vermeil'', from the Latin ''vermiculus'' the diminutive of the Latin word ''vermis'' for worm. The name originated because it had a similar color to the Kermes (dye), natural red dye made from an insect, ''Kermes vermilio'', which was widely used in Europe. The first recorded use of "vermilion" as a color name in English was in 1289. The term cinnabar is used in mineralogy and crystallography for the red crystalline form of mercury sulfide HgS. Thus, the natural mineral pigment is called "cinnabar", and its synthetic form is c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
